      Build - merlin beta-refresh b75 and merlin beta2 b76
      OS - win 32
      Browser - NS 6.1

      Steps to reproduce -

      1) Install NS 6.1 on the target machine from
           www.netscape.com

      2) Install the jdk/jre, merlin b75 or b76.

      3) After the installation is complete, the following warning comes up -

      Can not install java Plug-in for Netscape Navigator in
      C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape6\Plugins

      It may be caused by the following reasons
       
      1) Previous version of the Java Plug-in is running. Please close the browser
      2) Netscape Navigator has been removed from this location
      3) The drive or the file is read only.

      4) This warning did not come up with merlin beta-refresh b74.

      This problem happened with merlin beta2 b77 also.

      Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta2-b77)


      I have Netscape 6.1 installed in my machine.
      The install program j2sdk-1_4_0-beta2-win.exe tries to save
      dll's in c:\Netscape\\Plugin.
      A double backslash is used instead one backslash.
      A path with \\ (double backslash) is not allowed in windows.
      With other words a path (as a String e,g. "c:\\Netscape\\Plugin") in java
      is ok,but not as a physical location.
      *****************************************************
      No Win OS accepts a real path location in that form :
      c:\\Netscape6.1\\Plugin or c:\Netscape6.1\\Plugin
      (You can verify that by installing the j2sdk-1_4_0-beta2-win.exe,
      and you need to have Netscape 6.1 installed on the machine)
      *****************************************************

      Another bug is, why has the system property ->sun.boot.class.path=
      (showed in java console) the following jars's as a doubled entry:

      C:\PROGRA~1\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4\lib\charsets.jar;
      C:\PROGRA~1\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4\lib\jaws.jar;
      C:\PROGRA~1\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4\lib\jce.jar;
      C:\PROGRA~1\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4\lib\jsse.jar;
      C:\PROGRA~1\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4\lib\rt.jar;
      C:\PROGRA~1\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4\lib\sunrsasign.jar
